Researchers have identified a new physicochemical principle governing liquid–liquid phase separation in polymer solutions. Their research demonstrates that during the separation of a polymer mixture ...

Researchers at Duke University have uncovered the molecular inner workings of a material that could underpin next-generation rechargeable batteries. Unlike today's popular lithium-ion batteries that ...

Solid-state batteries could be safer and more energy-dense than today’s lithium-ion technology, but finding materials that allow ions to move quickly through solid electrolytes has been difficult.
